Forecasts

Club Manager (4/1), Sir Allen (5/1), Paradise Lost (13/2), Polemon (17/2), Imarajan (9/1), Charlie Darling (10/1), Pachmena (12/1), Plains Indian (12/1), Grappa Nonino (12/1), Arch Enemy (14/1), Scatchwah (14/1), Curious Bride (14/1), Make Good (16/1), Moutarde (18/1), Cast A Spell (18/1), Bold Approach (22/1), Rain (22/1), Napper Tandy (25/1), Valjean (33/1), Rockview Consort (33/1), Scott Lang (50/1), Lilac Lady (66/1), Swelltime (125/1)

Verdict

This is wide open but SIR ALLEN can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent Thurles second so edges the vote. Gavin Cromwell's duo Pachmena and Club Manager must enter calculations, while the likes of Curious Bride, Scatchwah, Cast A Spell and Paradise Lost all need factoring in too.

  1. SIR ALLEN
  2. PACHMENA (IRE)
  3. CLUB MANAGER
